Abstract (en)

[origin: US2015170972A1] An integrated circuit with an MOS transistor abutting field oxide and a gate structure on the field oxide adjacent to the MOS transistor and a gap between an epitaxial source/drain and the field oxide is formed with a silicon dioxide-based gap filler in the gap. Metal silicide is formed on the exposed epitaxial source/drain region. A CESL is formed over the integrated circuit and a PMD layer is formed over the CESL. A contact is formed through the PMD layer and CESL to make an electrical connection to the metal silicide on the epitaxial source/drain region.
